About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find magic around the world. I truly believe that if we look intently we can discover that the world is much more than only people, buildings and soil.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer who loves to write, design, learn and laugh. I love to discover things and well, there's no better way to do that than travelling.
I'm an audiovisual and digital communicator, currently working online and travelling the world. My job is web copy, social media, graphic & web design freelance.
I'm from Venezuela, and lived almost 4 years in Argentina, 10 months in Italy, 8 months in Chile, I have gone trhough Brasil, Bolivia, France, Spain, Turkey... travelling has become a need. Now I'm discovering Canada, and I'm happier than ever!
I love yoga, nature (I'm an ecologist), singing and books (mostly on digital, because of the paper waste and so) :)

PHILOSOPHY

Let it flow, good vibe is the energy of action :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I live in a basement, and could offer some space for travelers to stay, but for short time, since I share it. Also, I can help you out with information of some places I've been, and about doing work for stay, wich is one of the best and most economical ways of getting to now a place and its culture.
I can also participate by having interesting and fun conversations while walking around some place of interest. I try always to be on a good mood, so things flow possitively for everyone around me :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had some awesome experiences in Brasil, found amazing people in La Paz and the north part of Argentina. Also I've been all around Argentina, Chile, Spain, Italy, France and Turkey under this principle but without the web page... it's a very cool experience!!!!
Also I've travelled as a Worldpacker, which is also really cool :)

Interests

Ecology, reading, yoga, trekking, nature, music (jazz, swing, rock'n roll, blues, funk...), singing, making handcraft work, art...
I love to create, it doesn't matter if it's an impro, a short story, a drawing, a piece of art, a garden, a house... anything, as long as I can express myself and leave a little peace of me everywhere I go. If not, why to bother? :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: jazz, swing, rock'n roll, blues, funk...), jamming sessions (I have a lot of musician friends), impros...
(My favorite band of all times is Queen, then follows Monsieur Perinè, and after that the list grows :P) I recently discovered the soundtrack of the Trolls movie... it's sooo beautiful!
Trolls the movie!!! I fell inlove with the story, the charcter, the animation... everything! Also could be any other movie, except horror, gore or terror... I can't stand those things, they just get to my nerves!
Books? Any!!!, but currently "Siddhartha" and "Passage Interdit."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can touch my nose with my tongue :P
I lived in an ecovillage and worked in natural building :D
I don't buy clothes, ever. People tend to give me stuff, which I redistribute also between friends :) Reutilization at its upmost!
I left everything I had to hit the road! (literally, I don`t have a physical home to go back to) :P
I have the fortune to travel with my partner since a year and a half.

Teach, Learn, Share

Graphic & web design
To find reasons for being always smiling :)
Yoga and energy chanelling
